Included in the prestigious Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2007, Pasteiner has had work featured in several group shows in London. Created over a period of several years, the art works in the A Foundation exhibition include Landscape With the Fall of Icarus, was created especially for the show.

Made up of a series of light vitrines, it was influenced by Dutch Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel.

“They use fibre optics to make lanterns out of light boxes like expressions in the sky,” explains Pasteiner.

Pasteiner’s show is the first in a series of solo exhibitions to held in A Foundation’s warehouse-based galleries that examine contemporary sculpture. They will challenge the idea of sculpture as a static three-dimensional form.

London and Sheffield-based artist Haroon Mirza, who exhibited at the Liverpool Biennial’s New Contemporaries 2008, and Tonico Lemos Auad, who makes sculptures out of everyday substances such as carpet lint, will follow Pasteiner at the A Foundation.

* DANIEL PASTEINER’S solo show runs at the A Foundation from July 3 to August 15.
